"She's given so much to so many. And our students really identify with
her," she says. "One of my students said, 'I'm going to be like Dolores and
use my voice!' We've got little activists here!"
Former Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill designating April 10 as Dolores
Huerta Day in 2018, making her the first and only living person to hold
the honor. Instead of a state holiday, the special recognition is intended
to recognize Huerta and teach California students about her life. Last
year was the first-ever Dolores Huerta Day in California, and a similar
observance was adopted in Washington. For more information, go to

D O L O R E S H U E R T A has spent her life
fighting for justice, giving a voice to the
voiceless and empowering people to
make change in their communities, and
her lessons are as important as ever for
young people today.
Celebrate Dolores Huerta Day with
your students and show them the change
that's possible through the lessons of her
life. Grade-specific lesson plans, content
and other resources are available for free
